Thank you SNWMF! I have been waiting my entire life to see this artist!! To be honest, I was considering skipping this year's festival, but with Max Romeo on the bill, as well as Alpha Blondy, the Marleys, and the Gorgon, looks like Imma haffi make the trip...

Have been scrimping and saving and paying off credit card debt for the past three years just so I could get to SNWMF this year for the 20th anniversary. Would be excited no matter who was playing, but Max Romeo and Alpha Blondy?????.....WOW, I am so psyched!!!!!!! Have already seen most of the other artists at one time or another, but never those two. This is gonna be a GREAT show!

Tonight is our weekly meeting of the GUAM Massive...there's gonna be a LOT of happy campers when they hear the news.

Kind of interested in the Korean group as well since a lot of my students hail from Korea. I'll check out what they know about them.

Thanks so much Warren, Gretchen, Daniel and all the rest!

RAWspect every time!

PS Daniel, please make sure I get a promo CD this year so I can play it on my show in the weeks before. Give thanks.

I have often wondered the same thing. I would guess that it is contactual if they do it. Just a guess on my part though. In 2008 after Buju's set I can remember the MC saying to head to the dancehall there might be a surprise appearance. I never do the dancehall thing but I went that night because I took that as a possability Buju would be in the dancehall that night.

i hope every year.... last year i was hoping Johnny "The Dancehall Godfather" Osbourne would make an appearance on the mic, but it never happened...... last one i remember that was a surprise is Sugar last time Downbeat played.... i guess we will find out in a few weeks!
